"Did we just get caught up into one of Alejandros weird fantasies?" Yanopp questioned as she came running, holding a stretcher on her hands.

"Nechan, be nice." Elly asked, as she ran beside the stretcher. "It's not his fault he can't walk!"

"All I am asking is, Why the hell is it us three who got stuck on him!?" Yanopp exclaimed.

"Heh." Alejandro grinned weakly from where he laid on the stretcher.

In front of him, lifting the foot-en, was Ryu running, behind him was Yanopp, and right next to them was the doctor, keeping up a watch-full eye. Elly.

"Well, if I recall it correctly, Mr. Captain and Mr. Damon wished to fight Ramon and went there, while you Yanopp, wished to find the weapon, and Alejandro is the one whom know where it is." Ryu helpfully reminded the sniper.

"I KNOW THAT!" Yanopp shouted.

"I'm sorry Miss Yanopp, I did not mean to upset you." Ryu sighed.

"No Miss.. urgh forget it, you don't have to be so nice Ryu." Yanopp sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry Miss Yanopp." Ryu repeated.

Making Yanopp grimace.

"Senorita Yanopp, how cruel you are, to upset senorita Kumonryu, the pearl of the sky." Alejandro sighed. "Like a true woman, you're cruel as the ocean itself."

"SHUT UP!" Yanopp shouted at him. "And stay quiet or I'll hit you!"

Ryu blinked. "Would that not be cruelty?" she asked confused.

"No." Yanopp replied.

"Why?" Ryu asked, ones again genuinely confused and interested in a answer.

"He sucked my soul out of my body! It's called pay-back!" Yanopp hissed.

"See, cruel as the ocean." Alejandro sighed deeply. "And yet the ocean is what calls to the lonesome adventure, he just can't stand away."

"All-right that's it.." Yanopp hissed.

"Nechan!" Elly cut in. "Calm down, you are being unreasonable now, don't fight."

"But Elly!" Yanopp complained.

"I said calm down." Elly replied, and Yanopp bit together looking down.

"Go to the left here, take the stairs." Alejandro guided.

And Yanopp sighed as they turned the corner. "how much more before we reach the weapon?" she asked.

"Oh, I thought we might be taking a slight detour.." Alejandro hesitated.

"WHAT!?" Yanopp shouted. "Where the hell are you taking us!?" she asked.

"Well…" Alejandro looked to his side. "Orion said he was going to level the whole place.. there's some-one I would kind of like to warn.." he hesitated.

"I see." Elly nodded. "You should just have told us when we left, it would be fine."

"Urgh, just tell me it isn't a woman, supposed love of your life." Yanopp rolled her eyes.

"She's the greatest woman I have ever known." Alejandro smiled lightly.

"I knew it." Yanopp muttered. "To hell with this.. we are going to rescue some pretty damsel in distress? Really?" she asked.

"Down this hall, the door to the right." Alejandro asked. "I assure you, this woman is worth it." He then sighed. "A finer lady has yet to set food on this earth, I would walk through fire and ice for her."

"Yeah yeah what-ever." Yanopp muttered as she rolled her eyes. And Ryu kicked open the door at the appointed place. "Can't wait to see what pretty girl you have in store." She muttered.

"What in the world!?" An older womans voice exclaimed and Yanopp looked up, to be faced with a kitchen, a small nice kitchen, and in it.. a small frail elderly woman, whom looked like the least dangerous, most homely thing in the entire world, in her dress, blue and white striped apron. And she looked very startled by their presence.

Alejandro managed to lift his head and smile at the old lady. "Nana!" he exclaimed.

And the old ladies mouth dropped open. "ALEJANDRO!?" she exclaimed as she ran straight towards him. "What happened to you!? Oh dear, you look worse than death! I heard you've gotten yourself into trouble, I was so worried. Alejandro what kind of trouble are you in the middle of now!?" she asked deeply worried in a big ramble of words.

Alejandro through managed to capture Nana's hand. "Don't worry Nana." He then told. "It's not as bad as it looks." He stated, before he bowed his head, and kissed Nana's hand. "You are as always, a sight for sure eyes."

Wide-eyed Yanopp looked at the exchange, then blinked. "Urhm.." she hesitated. "Don't tell me that, that is.."

At that Nana looked up at the three women, looking at each of them.

"Oh, I Havn't introduced you." Alejandro realised. "Lovely senoritas, this is Nana, the kindest, most ravaging woman on earth."

"Alejandro, don't tease, please!" Nana tried.

"She's the woman whom held this organisation together all along!" Alejandro laughed. "An important key-player."

"I'm a house-keeper, nothing else." Nana exhaled deeply. "I clean, keep tidy and cook dinner, that is all."

"As I told." Alejandro smirked, kissing, Nana's hand. "A key player, none of those idiots up stairs can even figure how to change their own bed cloth. Nana, these fine young senoritas are the star pirates." He told. "The pearl of the ocean, lovely Kumonry. The delicate flower of summer, Elly and the girl of a fiery heart, Yanopp." He presented each of the girls, whom all looked a little confused about this entire situation.

"Erhm.." Yanopp blinked.

"Hallo." Elly replied, bowing her head. "I'm pleased to meet you, Nana."

"Pleased to meet you." Ryu stated, bowing as well, and so did Yanopp.

"Hai, pleased to meet you." Yanopp swallowed.

Nana looked stunned at all of them. "I'm pleased to meet all of you as well." She hesitated, bowing her head, before she looked at Alejandro. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Well, Nana." Alejandro sighed. "Captain Orion of the star pirates, are currently challenging Ramon, and he intend to level this entire ford to the ground. I am showing these lovely girls towards the ancient weapon, so we can destroy it together. So basically Nana." He told, holding her hands in his. "Get out of here, get out of here now."

"Alejandro.." Nana whispered. "What about.. your father will kill you." She told. "What have you done?" she asked.

"Miss, with all due respect, you don't have to worry." Yanopp then at last spoke. "I know you have never met our Captain. Alejandros life now lays in our Captains hands, but there couldn't be any safer hand to be in. Captain Orion will beat Ramon, and Alejandro will be all-right." She told. "Alejandro risked his own life by putting all of this into motion, even by wasting time to take a detour to this kitchen, he puts himself into even more danger, so get out of here. Go to our ship by the shore, the one with a seal head. We'll join you there, with Alejandro, and then you can decide for yourself what to do next."

Stunned, the others looked at Yanopp, and so did Nana.

Nana swallowed, and Yanopp sighed.

"I promise." Yanopp told. "I'll bring him back to you safely, okay?" she asked Nana.

And Nana nodded. "Okay." She whispered. "I know he can be quite a handful some-times, but he is a good boy. Take good care of him."

Yanopp smiled lightly. "He's not the only one whom can be quite the handful." She told.

"Takes one to know one." Elly amused shook his head. And Ryu nodded.

"Are you falling in love with me yet?" Alejandro asked in a smirk.

"Do yourself a favour and shut tight." Yanopp asked as she rolled her eyes. "It's like every-time you open your mouth, any redeeming qualities you might have just show-cased just melts away. It's pretty damn impressive you know."

"So I impress you?" Alejandro asked in a smirk.

And Yanopp glared at him. "Yeah." She told. "It impresses me how any-one can be so arrogant and stupid. Yet still be alive." She muttered.

"Ooh, so I do impress you." Alejandro blinked, making Yanopp hiss very annoyed.

"Didn't I tell you to shut it?" She asked.

Nana blinked surprised by the exchange, but then, she smiled. "Thank you for the warning Alejandro, I assume you are going to leave this place as well when this is over?" she asked.

"Absolutely." Alejandro grimaced. "I am never going to go back here again, isn't it great?" he asked.

And Nana nodded. "Good, then I can actually leave." She told, before she moved to the cupboard, where she found a bag, took down a book, put it in, and put it over her shoulder.

"Will you be okay?" Elly asked a little concerned.

"Oh yes, sure." Nana smiled as she walked past them. "Why would any-one ever attack old Nana, if they do, there will be no cookies for a month, and they know that, they know that very well." She told, waving over her shoulder, as she quietly walked past them.

And Alejandro sighed. "Isn't she wonderful?" he asked, and the three young women turned to him.

"Heh." Alejandro smiled a little apologetic. "As long as I remember, she's always been there. Giving me cookies, reading stories. All that kind of stuff, good old Nana."

"So she raised you?" Elly asked.

"I guess you can say that." Alejandro shrugged.

"Will she be okay out there?" Yanopp asked a little quietly. "She's not.. you know.. a slave? She doesn't have a doll like you or any-thing?"

"No, Nana was always free to come and go as she pleased." Alejandro sighed deeply. "I asked her ones why she didn't just leave, and all she did was to smile at me, pad me on the head and give me a second cookie."

"I understand." Ryu nodded. "Like what my father and Uncle would do for my sake, old Nana would for yours."

"I figured that to." Alejandro admitted. "And by god, I would hate to ever disappoint her by turning into my father." Stated. "That dear ladies, I would never be able to life with. Lets go find that old weapon!" he exclaimed.

"Now we're talking!" Yanopp grinned.


"RAMON!" Orion shouted, as he kicked in a door, a door that had been guarded by several pirates, so Orion could only suppose that Ramon would be behind that door.

And true enough, there he stood, the black-haired tall pirate, whom had those handsome features like Alejandros, but where Alejandro had a twinkle in his eye, and a often genuine amused smirk about him. Ramons eyes looked gray and cold, and his mouth.. was definitely not smirking, as Orion and Damon, stepped inside.

His eyes though, squinted at Orion. "So you got out of your cell." He commented.

"Wasn't that difficult." Orion responded, swinging his arm. "I feel insulted by ordinary handcuffs."

Ramon sighed deeply. "I all-ready entertained you enough, Xander." He nodded, at a skinny gray-haired man beside him. "Get rid of them please." He asked.

And Xander nodded, without his eyes even moving, as in a blink of, he was in front of Damon and Orion, and plucked a hair out of each of their skulls.

"AUW!" Orion hissed. "Hey! What was that for!?" he asked.

Xanders face though, didn't change as he hald out two hands. "I ate, the Voodo Voodo fruit." He told in a almost bored voice, as two objects, seemed to manifest, one in each of his hands. "It gives me the incredible power, to create dolls that affect people." He told, as two white dolls had appeared. Then he took the silver hair he had gotten from Orion, and wrapped it around one of the dolls head. "Now die." He requested, reaching for the dolls head.

In the next moment though, both dolls were flung out of Xanders hands, as silver threats had wrapped themselves around them, and Damon pulled the dolls towards himself so he now held them. "I see, a puppet master." Damon nodded, unwrapping damons hair from the doll. "Unfortunately for you, you are not the only one able to play with strings! I hope for you that is not the only thing you can do." He stated as he spread his legs and stood ready in fighting position. "For I am not going to allow you to create any-more dolls!" he stated, lifting his arms. "And you are not going to get close enough to me again to get another hair!"

Xander turned his eyes to Ramon, and Ramon shrugged lightly. "Just take him down." He told.

And Xander nodded as he lifted his hands. "Very well, you shall be my opponent." He told "So I can't get to your hair, very well." He shrugged. "Who says living people is the only thing to control?" he asked, as he took up another doll, and made a twist of his hands, so suddenly a sound sounded behind Damon.

"Huh?" Damon blinked as he turned around, and saw an empty armour, lifting its arm. Which Damon barely got to avoid, as he jumped out in the hall-way.

"Not so quick." Xander spoke quietly and softly as he stepped out, his face not moving an inch. "Lets see, how you fare against an entire living ford." He commented.


"Almost there!" Alejandro assured, as the three young women ran with the navigator, down the stairs down to a cellar.

"WOAH STOP!" Yanopp shouted, as they barely stopped, and barely managed to not drop Alejandro on the floor.

For right in front of them, at a giant door, stood two men, leaning up against it with crossed arms.

"Well." Alejandro smiled. "It would be weird if it was that easy. Garzia, Julian. How are you?" he asked.

"Well look at that." Julian smirked. "the prodigal son with three little girls. Must be sluts he bought himself to."

"How dare you to say that about these fine ladies!?" Alejandro asked. "You're just jalouse." He told in a smirk crossing his arms, only to exclaim a bug. "AUW!" as Yanopp hit him in the arm.

"Don't know what's up with that one." Julian commented, looking at Yanopp, but then his eyes fell on Elly. "That one is pretty though, I want her." He stated, lifting up a knife. "Come here my pretty." He grinned.

"Elly.. get away from him." Yanopp whispered.

"But I.." Elly whispered.

"JUST DO IT!" Yanopp shouted.

"Hai!" Elly nodded as she turned around, and ran.

"Not so quick!" Julian smirked, as he ran after her.

"HEY!" Yanopp shouted after him.

"Don't worry, I shall help." Ryu told as she dropped Alejandro, making him yell in pain, before Ryu ran after Julian.

"Erh.." Both Yanopp and Garzia looked after the three vanishing people.

Then at last Garzia seemed to decide to follow them.

Only for Yanopp to drop Alejandro entirely, so he fell all the way down. "YAUW!" he hauled.

And then, a led bullet hit Garzia in the head.

Surprised Garzia stopped.. didn't look like the led bullet had hurt him, but it was enough to make him turn around, and see Yanopp, whom stood ready there, with the cross-brow strapped to her wrist, folded out, and ready. "Oh no you don't!" Yanopp exclaimed. "Keep your eyes here and away from them, I am your opponent now!" she stated, standing over Alejandro.

And Garzia blinked, but then grinned. "Very well then." He stated, cracking his knuckles, and suddenly Yanopp realised what a beef mountain she was standing in front of.

"Oh crud." Yanopp swallowed. But lifted her arm with the cross-brow any-way. "Lets have at it then!" she stated.


"Come here girlie!" Julian yelled as he came running after Elly. "I want you for my own."

"NO!" Elly shouted as she turned around, and yelled. "DARK SHOCK!" to send a shock-wave of dark matter into him. Surprised Julian managed to avoid it and crawl to the wall.

"They didn't tell me she was a devil fruit user!" Julian exclaimed, and then his face retrieved. "Very well, I am the quickest fighter in the ford, I can avoid any-thing you throw at me. You'll be mine yet, pretty girl."

Then a hand grabbed Julian from behind, and threw him away.

Julian just managed to make a summersault in the air, and landed on his legs, with a hand on the floor, as he looked up, and a fishwoman stepped forward.

"Question is, can you avoid us both?" Ryu asked, as she spread her legs, and stood ready in a Tai-chi start position, her face cold and smooth, not an expression on it. "We are both your opponents." She stated.

And Julian squinted his eyes. "Fine." He stated. "You have no idea who I am do you?" he asked. "The lighting, Julian. So quick that I can even run on water, as long as I can see your attacks, you can't touch me." He stated. "I'll fight you, and teach you a lesson!" he stated.


"Well then." Orion smirked as he cracked his knuckles. "Are you ready?" he asked Ramon.

Ramon sighed, as he put on a black glow, and then, pulled out a long sword from his belt. "Do you even realise, how many vice-admirals I have killed?" he asked, resting the sword on his shoulder. "You really think, you can come here, and be the one to teach me a lesson?" he asked.

"I do." Orion grinned. "

"Well then, come at me. Star Captain." Ramon encouraged pointing his sword at Orion. "Lets see, what kind of person it is, my son has been so keen on dooming to death."

"Oh I am not the one he wants to see dead." Orion commented, pulling out his moon formed sword.

"I see." Ramon smirked, in a very Alejandro-like way. "Lets see, if his gamble paid off, and then he swung his sword for Orion as he exclaimed. "HIYA!"
